just done my first all nighter on my project.

Have two weeks left, and i pretty sure it is going to be a Fail :(. everthing i do seems to go wrong.

firstly i have spent probably about a week of time trying to sort out why one piece keeps screwing up, and still no sucess.

other parts, i am way behind, and also very worried about my understanding of the stuff i have left to do ;(.

Also the database i am using has very poor documentation and they appear to change rules from one entry to another, making it very hard to create a program to sucessfully read in from it.


i'll be glad when this is all over, even if i don't get a degree. as i have been unable to sleep properly for a couple of weeks and am really stressed about this. If i was doing this for myself i would have quit ages ago, as i have hated most of this year:(

anyway - i think it is time for breakfast and then some more programming. i have a demonstration to my supervisior at 9:30 ;@

- Al

as i expect linux has outdone itself again freezing serveral hours througth the upgrade.

was all i could do to stop myself smashing my laptop in anger !!!.

tryinbg a reboot now

- i am pretty pissed off !

thankfully ubuntu resumed after a reboot, althougth some icons are a little strange (bigger and only seeing top left quarter of icons for my drive mounting tool)

moving from hoary to breezy today. i'll be amazed if i don't come across any problems.

hopefully will not loose to many of my settings ethier (keeping my fingers crossed).

My PC setup is currently made up of two systems one desktop (2GHZ) and one 500MHZ laptop and docking station.

often i use both systems simletainously via a KVM.

until now i have copied text to files in shared diectories if i wanted to copy code or anything between PC's.

http://netclipboard.sourceforge.net/


the above program keeps two PC's (possibly more haven't checked) clipboards syncronised. simply copy to clipboard and it gets done on both of my PCs.

works on linux aswell, althougth i haven't checked this yet.

well worth a look if you use a setup like mine

Ok so i have six weeks left for my project, and am further behind than i would have liked.

Also doing C this term, which is proving stressfull, all i seem to be able to do is create segmentation faults, and emacs is really pissing me off.

Upgraded pc so am now running a 2Ghz athlon instead of 850mhz, which is helping with my project (but i can now run doom3, which is not helping with work - althougth it does scare the crap out of me).

currently doing an HCI blog as part of a team at (for my final year HCI module)

- anyway best be back to work ;)
